needed to learn to read and write first.

The correct answer is A) fled to places where slavery was outlawed.

Runaway slaves often tried to escape to places where slavery was completely illegal. This would help to ensure that they would not be forced back into the awful system they used to be a part of. Some slaves would go to Northern states that outlawed slavery. Other slaves would even leave the country, as thousands of them made the trip to Canada in order to be free from slavery.

This trend of runaway slaves is going to be a common occurence during the 1700's and early to mid 1800's.

the progressive era is a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the united states that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

the movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. by taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. they also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. at the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.a third theme was building an efficiency movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "taylorism".
